This is the most complex one I’ve done so far, and I almost ran out of material (single straightened coathanger), so ~8 letters max. Coathanger is surprisingly difficult to bend into such intricate shapes. It took me around 2½ hours to do with two different types of pliers plus hand bending.

I literally freehanded this though, no predrawn pattern or anything, just following as close as I can to my own freehand cursive writing. I’m thinking about making a bit of a side job out of it, like $5 a letter…

What you folks think?

Edit: I made a point to weight balance it at the tip of the T for hanging on the wall or wherever.

Edit 2: Criticize me as necessary, my cursive is still slightly rusty…

    Kinda, I’m really just pointing out numbers. OP has to decide what they want out of their hobby; Is it just for fun and recouping some cost makes it worthwhile (hobbies can be expensive) or is it to earn a profit?

    I just like data.

      Data? I used to pull 7 letter names out of paperclips like this (still can actually).

      That was a hobby, coathanger is hands on practice for something bigger, which I’m already getting local requests for…
